CPU Model E5-2603 V3

  • 2U rack form factor fits dense data-centre deployments
  • Single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core 1.6GHz processor handles core workloads
  • 192GB DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots supports virtualisation density
  • PERC H330 12Gbps RAID controller enables RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 protection
  • Dual 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies maintain uptime

Built for memory-intensive workloads

This Dell PowerEdge R530 rack server ships with 192GB of DDR4 memory and a six-core Xeon E5-2603 v3 processor running at 1.6GHz. The 2U chassis provides twelve DIMM slots, all populated at the factory maximum of 192GB. It targets buyers who need dense memory capacity in a standard rack footprint without fitting additional processors.

Redundant power and hot-swap bays

Dual 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails. Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays accept SAS or SATA drives and connect to the Perc H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. A DVD ROM drive is included for media tasks.

Sustained operation with remote management

The iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band monitoring and firmware updates during long-running jobs. Five PCIe slots — three at 3.0 and two at 2.0 — allow expansion cards to be added for workload acceleration. Matrox G200 graphics handle basic console output. This unit does not suit buyers who want more storage than eight bays provide or who require a second processor for higher thread counts.

Questions about this item

How do I install the second processor in the PowerEdge R530 and what step is often missed?

Insert the second Xeon E5-2603 v3 into the empty CPU socket and populate its six DDR4 DIMM slots; the step often missed is adding the second processor heatsink and updating iDRAC8 firmware so the system recognises the new CPU.

What maintenance will the PERC H330 RAID controller and its battery-backed cache need later?

The H330 controller uses a replaceable battery-backed write cache module; plan to swap that module every 3–5 years and verify firmware is current after each drive replacement.

What limit appears first when all eight 3.5-inch drive bays run sustained write workloads?

The H330 12 Gbps SAS/SATA interface and PCIe 3.0 x8 link saturate before the 750 W redundant power supplies or 2400 MT/s DDR4 memory become bottlenecks.
